Pagan Fancies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKLL| Blow Father Triton blow your wreathed horn | A |
| Cheerly as is your wont and let the blast | B |
| Circle our island on the breezes borne | A |
| Blow while the shining hours go swiftly past | B |
| Rise Proteus from the cool depths rise and be | C |
| A friend to them that breast your ancient sea | C |
| - | |
| I shall be there to greet you for I tire | D |
| Of the dull meadows and the crawling stream | E |
| Now with a heart uplifted and a fire | D |
| I come to greet you and to catch the gleam | E |
| Of jocund Nereids tossing in the air | F |
| The sportive tresses of their amber hair | F |
| - | |
| High on a swelling upland I shall stand | G |
| Stung by the buffets of the wind borne spray | H |
| Or join the troops that sport upon the sand | G |
| With shouts and laughter wearing out the day | H |
| Or pace apart and listen to the roar | I |
| Of the great waves that beat the crumbling shore | I |
| - | |
| Then when the children all are lapped in sleep | J |
| The pretty Nymphlets of the sea shall rise | K |
| And we shall know them as they flit and creep | J |
| And peep and glance and murmur lullabies | K |
| While the pale moon comes up beyond the hill | L |
| And Proteus rests and Triton's horn is still | L |
